Can anyone explain to me why Rambus stock is doing this?

Octal data rate 2bit ram capable of running at multiple Ghz frequencies. Also rumored to be used in the Sony PS3.

Edit: Believe it or not they have engineers too!! After all they invented DDR but everyone forgets that.

It's a new memory architecture that is more serialised than the massively parrallel 64 Bit DDR-SDRAM. I think it's only 16 bits wide but delivers 3.2 GB/s bandwidth with the theoretical abbility to run up to 32 of these modules parrallel which equals 100GB/s

Even if 32 way memory is hard to implement, a 8 way system would only be comparably complex in layout as existing dual DDR sollutions (128 bit) and would deliver a massive 26 GB/s and remember this is just at initial release speeds which will probably rise once the technology is available. Sony has already signed up to use this tech in its next gen Playstation.

It's still to early to say how much this stuff will cost but it does have massive potential. I always thought that Rambus had the right idea technology wise, but the price was just too high and the lawsuits too numerous.
 
it's going to fall tomorrow, their earnings report wasn't too good.. however their new RAM has some promise and will probably drive this stock up - especially with the tech/video game industry on the rise.

my advice: buy after it falls from this earnings report, sell later for a nice profit.
 
thread rez, but i have a legit question to add to this mix 🙂

At clocks those high, wouldnt the latency also be MUCH lower than DDR?
 
Yellowstone XDR RAM.

I'll have an article up about it in roughly a week or two.
